Yay! Another great addition to the Van Woustraat! Everytime a new place opens here it gets better…read moreand better. I haven't seen anything leave that I'm not glad about and the same goes for the places that open here. Gathershop just opened today and I made sure to celebrate my Christmas holiday by checking out this place as soon as possible. The friendly British owner did a wonderful job with the interior of this place as well as the collection. I loved so much of the things she sells, and the best thing is; I could actually afford it! I bought a lovely ring for only 27 euros which is a great price. There was a lot of cute jewelry but I also loved the art prints and magazines, saw a few cute tote bags and cute kitchen supplies. The upperfloor of the shop is reserved for pop-ups. At the moment 'Rewind Play Fast Forward's vintage collection is available and it suits the rest of the more permanent collection at Gathershop very well. I saw a few very nice items and again, for very reasonable prices. I would really recommend this place if you need gifts for a creative lady friend, or if you want to treat yourself with something nice, but don't want to spent too much money, like at simular style shops in the Negen Straatjes. This shop is just as good and if you're not from this hood gives you a good reason to discover the Van Woustraat a little bit more (because it has so much to offer lately!).

Scotch and Soda shop in Haarlem is in an old, beautiful building. The shop kept the old building's…read moreroom division, which means that when you enter the hall you can either go right or left for latest ladies collection, or left and straight ahead for men and kids. I really like their collections, however they are a bit pricey..but..there is always a solution for bargain hunter like me..twice a year (or more often) scotch and soda starts their sale!! It starts a bit shy with 40% max..and then continues.. I went there today and found a really cool tshirt:-) One thing that always makes me laugh (inside) is the question that I get so often from shop staff when paying for the scored piece of clothing..sth along the lines: Were you able to find something nice???Then I just feel like answering sth like...ah no..I am just paying for your charity fund. Here's your sign!!!

Shirdak is a super cute shop to buy fall and winter accessories. It's in the same neighborhood as…read morethe Ann Frank Museum, so easy to find. They also can custom make your hat to fit your head perfectly. For example, if your head is too small or big or you just happen to have a full head of thick hair. They also have some super cute wool boots in there to persevere through the winter. You will come across some lovely shawls, blankets, rugs, pillows and more.

However, I thought that I would yelp about this shop, so you know a few places to hit up if your in the process of cleaning out your closet for the winter, spring, or summer. I was happy to hear from the owner that you get your items back if the clothes are not sold because normally other shops in Haarlem do not return them back. If your going to bring your clothes by here, then make sure that they are in good condition. Also try to avoid brands that fall under Zara, HM and Forever 21.
